I just heard it on the FAN.

So who replaces him ?

Ron Wilson

Why not the former coach of the year Sam Mitchell.

I liked Mitchell and was disappointed they let him go.

Ron Wilson

pick him before Mitchell

Why not the former coach of the year Sam Mitchell.

he's in Jersey waiting for the phone to ring

If he was a hell of a coach then why hasn't he got a head coaching gig yet ... This summer with so many vacancies how come his name hasn't been even mentioned ie getting a interview ?

good question

 

[Dawgger]

IMHO Sam got lucky! He was lucky to get the head coaching job and then had the one season and won coach of the year making it hard for BC to dump him. Obviously he didn't get a lot of respect from the basket powers or you would be hearing his name as a serious candidate for some of the vacancies. Looks to me like he lines up behind Jack Armstrong for any openings.

Considering who picked him to be head coach, Jay turned out pretty good.

please explain your reasoning. I see a losing record.

Meaning Colangelo has made so many bad moves, Jay Triano wasn't close to the worst move. If Popovich coached this team he assembled last year we still wouldn't have been .500. In 5 years of being GM the best player you bring in is Andrea Bargnani, you're not doing your job.

yeah I agree, I thought you were saying Triano had done a good job. The talent just isn't there. Unfortunately last year there were a number of games where the effort wasn't there either.
